This is the original miniature vase (or toothpick stand/stack) "Saumur" by the French company Lalique. The branded, hand-engraved - Lalique France is clearly visible on the bottom. The presence of a registered trademark mark indicates that the item was released in the second half of the 20th century (approximately after 1978).This item is made of high-quality lead crystal (in French - Cristal), which is the hallmark of the Lalique manufactory. In the production of this product, two proprietary material processing techniques were used: Transparent crystal (upper part): Carefully polished smooth edges that have high transparency and characteristic "diamond" shine when hit by light. Matte crystal (lower part): The three-dimensional relief with grapes is treated by satin method (acid etching or sandblasting). It is this iconic combination of matte and glossy surfaces
